Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossFlow technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your GMC C3500. Designed for 2WD models with rear leaf springs, these shocks utilize a progressive engagement system that maintains a smooth street ride while increasing control during heavy-duty hauling. The twin-tube gas pressurized design ensures consistent performance and durability, making them an ideal solution for restoring ride quality to stock-height vintage workhorses.

Features

• CrossFlow Technology: A unique progressive valving system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure smooth comfort during highway cruising and firm control during aggressive maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a quicker response time and reduced aeration to ensure consistent performance under high-load conditions.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides reduced deflection and improved road feedback to ensure precise handling characteristics.
